Treesitter syntax highlighting for vim-fugitive

Enhance the great vim-fugitive with syntax-aware code to easily work with diffs.

Features

• Language-aware highlighting: Full treesitter syntax highlighting for code in diff hunks
• Automatic language detection: Detects language from filenames using Neovim's filetype detection
• Header context highlighting: Highlights function signatures in hunk headers (@@ ... @@ function foo())
• Performance optimized: Debounced updates, configurable max lines per hunk
• Zero configuration: Works out of the box with sensible defaults

Requirements

• Neovim 0.9.0+
• vim-fugitive

Installation

Using lazy.nvim:

{
  'barrettruth/fugitive-ts.nvim',
  dependencies = { 'tpope/vim-fugitive' },
  opts = {},
}

Known Limitations

• Syntax "flashing": fugitive-ts.nvim hooks into the FileType fugitive event triggered by vim-fugitive, at which point the fugitive buffer is preliminarily painted. The buffer is then re-painted after debounce_ms milliseconds, causing an unavoidable visual "flash" even when debounce_ms = 0. Feel free to reach out if you know how to fix this!
